My Manifesto: The Incoherent Ramblings of a Madman

Dear Diary.....ok I'm never starting with this again...but I figured it'd be as good a place as any to start....and it makes it seem all dougie housery and stuff...(or was it parker lewis? or one of those 80's afternoon tv shows...I'm buggered if I can remember)

Today was the first day for a long time that it didn't rain, for most of the day, UNTIL, I was standing outside waiting to be picked up for APEX, but alas, I can no more control the elements than I can control my wacky remote control that the buttons stick down - it is forever coming up with new and exciting moments to turn on-off and change channels!

Today was one of those days. I turned my alarm off instead of hitting "snooze" so i woke up with 10 mins to get dressed and get to work - it all turned out fine and i, apart from the boss, was the first there! he even commented on my good attitude! but, the compliments stopped there. Today i redrew the one drawing 5 times - 5 times i did exactly what my boss told me to do - 5 times my boss decided that it needed to be changed because i'd done it wrongly - 5 times I used my best diplomatic efforts to try and save myself from taking the blame for doing things as he said, while at the same time, not trying to put the blame on him - that takes a lot of careful planning of words, it's enough to give anyone a headache!

I was looking at ordering a Dell computer online today - question 4 - do you intend to use this computer to manufacturer, deploy, or used weapons of mass destruction?, I was tempted to say yes just to test the system out, but because I was merely after a price for a laptop, I figured I'd be better to avoid the CIA kicking my door down.

The whole world has gone crazy! 3 years ago no one had even coined the term "weapons of mass destruction", now, "WMD" or "WOMD" is a known abbreviation that no one thinks twice about! It's crazy! crazy! crazy! Osama Bin Laden has been a wanted terrorist for at least 10 years, and no one seemed to care about him until he took refuge in a country that America wanted to build a freakin' oil pipeline through! Sadaam Hussein has been a ruthless leader put into power by America for decades, and no body seemed to care about him until America wanted to get some more oil reserves as their's run out in the next few decades, unless of course, they resort to mining national parks in alaska, which will happen sooner or later as the megamachine engulfs the worlds resources.....all the talk about a war in Iran and Syria and North Korea....all of this talk of a war on terrorism...it's crazy...retaliation creates terror, terror breeds hate, hate breeds violence, violence breeds terrorism, terrorism breeds more retaliation...everyone can see this, everyone knows this...when will some leader have the time to stand up for what he knows is true? when will someone take a no war stance? by creating regime change in countries where the people hero worship their leaders, by killing the fathers of their children, by bombing a country, such as Iraq that has more women and children than men, how will America ever stop people growing up hoping to destroy them? It is obvious the rest of the world wants what America has, food, water, electricity (well except for the west coast heheheh), but while America keeps bombing them they'll never have it, and will grow more and more bitter.

Today is the day I am officially declaring my back not injured anymore. The injury? pulled muscle; The cure? one week of pigging out, doing no exercise, and 2 physio sessions. Sure it still really hurts, but it doesn't hurt enough to wake me up anymore, or doesn't hurt enough to stop me doing things anymore, so as far as I'm concerned - not injured.
